I'm amused. I just received Conversation Latin for Oral Proficiency by John C. Traupman, which had been recommended by others on this site. I was flipping through it and discovered Appendix V: Computer Terms! This is so cool! Three pages of computer terms. Here are some words on the list:

Here are the topics covered in the chapters: Greetings; Family; House and Furniture; Daily Activities; Sports and Other Leisure Activities; The Human Body; Health and Physical Fitness; Food and Drink; Days, Weeks, Months, Years; Expressions of Time; Useful Colloquial Expressions; Clothing and Jewelry; School; Buying and Selling; The Weather; Animals; Emotions and Qualities; Trades and Professions; The City and Public Buildings; Government; War and Peace; Law and Criminal Justice; Geography and Topography; Transportation; Grammar.

Appendices: Yes and No in Latin; Colors; Numbers; Proverbs and Sayings; Computer Terms

There's also a General Vocabulary at the end of the book.

What I like about the book is how the dialogues are divided into three levels. Level 1 is the eaiest, Level 3 is more advanced. So you can start out by going through all the chapters in any order and reading the Level 1 sections. Then later go back and do the Level 2 sections, and then save the Level 3 sections for last.

Another thing I like about the book is how they have an extensive vocabulary list at the end of each chapter which relate to the chapter's topic.

Do you remember a while back when I posted a question about phrasing an "out of office" message in my email application? I was trying to clear up the issue on phrasing the date in Latin. Well, I discovered that my questions are answered in this book. I was flipping through the book yesterday and stumbled upon pages 76 & 77. It explains very clearly how they counted the days back from Kalendae, Nanae, and Idus. It gives you samples of how you'd phrase the date. Page 77 shows a chart for all the days of the month, for every month, including leap year. This is so cool!

Can you tell I really like this book? I bought the 3rd Edition version ($29). The 2nd Edition version is still in print, and is slightly cheaper ($21).
